While anti-Masonry has existed for just about as long as Masonry has existed, the anti-Masonic activities in the US reached a fever point following the publishing of William Morgan's... More > "Illustrations of Masonry." Morgan, who had been a Mason, wrote this work as an exposure of Freemasonry after becoming upset at not being received, for cause, into a body of Masons. Before the book was released, Morgan disappeared never to be seen again. Charges that Masons kidnapped and murdered Morgan were common by the anti-Masons, but never proven. As a result of the events surrounding the disappearance of Morgan and the publishing of this booklet, anti-Masonry grew to great heights in the US and nearly destroyed many Masonic bodies. The introduction provide useful information and a historical account of the Morgan affair. Cornerstone Reprint Series< Less

Illustrations of Masonry has a controversial backstory which is part of the mythology of anti-Freemasonry. 'Captain' William Morgan, the author, was a disappointed Freemason in Batavia, New York.... More > Rejected by the local lodge, he announced that he was going to publish a work exposing Masonic rituals and secrets. Shortly before publication in 1826, he disappeared, and three Masons were later convicted of kidnapping him. Although claims were made that Morgan had been murdered, some say that he was forced to leave the US. Either way, it was good publicity for this book, which was published in 1827, but bad for the Masons. The incident led to widespread protests against Freemasons in the US, and eventually an anti-Masonic Party, which at its height in 1832 got seven electoral votes for William Wirt for President.< Less
